It doesn’t get much hotter than the EGG cookin’ in July! Make sure to keep yourself hydrated with a bit of whatever you’re using for the Beer Can Chicken. Ice Cream Sandwiches are also a great way to stay cool. Looking for some great ideas for a summer cook out? Try out a Pimento Cheeseburger or Dr. BBQ’s Spare Rib Surprise. Just don’t be surprised if your neighbors stop by for a quick bite when they smell what you’re cooking!

Yes, you'd probably have to sand / scuff up the glaze on the Egg in order to get any paint to stick.

And, unless you have a very old Egg (pre glazing), I would NOT paint it. First of all, the glazing is baked onto the ceramic, so unless you have access to a kiln / forge that is large enough to bake on your paint, you'd be removing factory glaze which is of better quality to replace it w/ something homemade of lesser quality. Not to mention that I almost guarantee this would void your warranty.

Also, I'm pretty sure that Rust-Oleum paint that Nolaegghead linked to is the same stuff that I used to paint most of the metal pieces on my table - and ummmm, in my opinion - that stuff SUCKS!! I've only used the table a handful of times since getting it done, and the paint is ALREADY starting to chip / peel off. I'll have to check when I get the time, but I'm pretty sure it's the same stuff.

I had better luck using Stove Bright, and will eventually repaint all the parts which are now painted w/ the Rust-Oleum w/ the Stove Bright.

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee

I've been using that Rustoleum grill paint for years and it's not very impact resistant until it cures for a couple of weeks, and still, not that impact resistant. And that's if you have a super clean base to apply to. It's designed to resist heat more than any other characteristic. I agree with hillbilly that painting the egg is not a good idea. If it's old and ugly, maybe put a cover on it. But then again, you didn't mention why you wanted to paint it.

I wonder how it held up over the years to the heat. Paint was rated at 500F.

Sure is blinged-out!
